    I know I would like to see it and this fight makes sense in my eyes.

    Reasons why it makes sense:

    1. Both have a sort of "Bad Blood" between them.
    2. The fight was supposed to happen for years.
    3. Johnson is willing to fight in Wales, this would be a perfect send-off for Joe win or lose because he is at home.
    4. Johnson arguably beat Dawson who is supposed to be the next big thing.
    5. Johnson is the number 4 Light Heavyweight in the world.

    Reasons why it doesn't make sense:
    1. Johnson doesn't bring economic muscle to the table.
    2. If Joe wins this might not bring much to his resume on paper because of Johnson's official record combined with the fact that he is 39, which is an excuse right there.

    This would be an entertaining fight as both fighters throw many punches every round and both never take a step back. They can both take a very good punch but they don't have any power. I see this fight as a non-stop action fight which will be worth watching.

    If he was to fight more than once id like Johnson to be one of them but if theres only one more Id hope for Dawson or Hopkins

    Glen Johnson??? Joe shouldnt waste his time with that old geezer IMO.They are bigger fish to fry in the pond.

    Imagine this: Joe loses to Glen,Glen was soundly beaten by Ottke,people would start calling Ottke the better of this pair as he beat Glen when the American was in his prime.
    Nah! Joe should either retire or look for truly big fights.

    He'd get no credit for beating Johnson so why should he bother, people will turn round and say he is old or has lost to so and so, Calzaghe should just retire in my eyes, no one to fight, Dawson hasnt proved **** to me yet.
